    Door bell at the next drive thru window
    Char B.

    Great this place is open 24hrs. They have u sit at another drive thru up ahead if u order too much so they can keep the flow of the drive thru. That window has a very convenient doorbell incase they forget ur ranch like they did for me.

    Chicken sandwich

    Ok guys, don't judge. We went to McDs because we had points that were expiring and it allowed us to get McChicken sandwiches... 3x. lol. And when we travel we love getting their breakfast sandwiches. Honestly can't go wrong with ordering it at home then driving and parking in front of a number. They come out pretty quickly. Some staff even offering condiments (ketchup). I suggest downloading the app and finding their deals. We were also able to get that $5 meal deal with a McChicken sandwich, nuggets, fries and a drink. Also when the padres win, you get a medium size fries with a $1 more order. Usually just stick with the McChicken, nuggets and breakfast sandwiches. But geez, did you see the normal meal prices?! When did fast food get so pricey? Just go for the deals on the app.

    Ordered a Large Sweet Tea with light ice for me and my sibling and we're diabetic so we needed the sugar. When we got home we realized our sweet tea was unsweetened and I know we couldn't return it since we already drank from it but I called to tell them that their tea was not sweet and it seemed like a joke to them, beware. Also when you order cook to order fries don't bother they just throw the old ones in the fryer and they turn out hard with no flavor.

    Location is close to the 5 freeway and parking lot is huge and free because it is shared with Home Depot. For service you can order via mobile app, or drive through, or on a touch screen inside. Make sure to sign up for a McDonald's account so you get points for free stuff. Inside is nice, clean, just as crowded and noisy as any busy McDonald's. Ordered some french fries and it did not take too long, maybe 2 minutes but when they went to hand me the bag it was empty. The clerk realized the mistake and put my bag back in the queue to get filled up. Within in a minute I had my golden delicious tasty fries and was out the door. Staff was nice, friendly, and realized their mistake before I left so that was a plus.

    Great budget deals from meals to drinks Downloading the app made my visit that much better Amazing McDonald's rewards

Staff was friendly and professional. My order didn't take about maybe 5 minutes . It was clean inside . 5 out of 5 stars . I Recommend them. I be back thank you all

    The ads verses reality!
    Todd B.

    FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! How does corporate America get away with lying to us consumers???? It's because we allow it. Time for us to wake up and hold companies accountable for their advertising. Case in point, although I rarely choose McDonalds these days...today we did because my son wanted it. I ordered a bacon double quarter pounder with cheese The end product comes, looks nothing like the advertised picture, no visible bacon till you open it up. Then you see the amazing thick-cut applewood bacon...wrong!!! You see 3 wimpy razor thin excuses for bacon. What a joke. See for yourself. Attached are 3 pictures. My burger, a snapshot of the online picture of the burger and then their online description of the burger. It is all very sad. McDonalds has 0% quality control and price control. They believe we are all too dumb to notice or even care so they continue to mislead and misrepresent in their adds. Why not be truthful...say "applewood bacon that is soooo thin, you'll barely even know it's there". That is TRUTH! Why do we all allow corporations like McDonalds to deceive us?

    Drive-thru
    Alex D.

    Accessibility: they have accessible parking directly in front of the building and plenty of other parking available. There is a ramp to get onto the sidewalk and the doors to get inside are pull doors. They also have a drive-thru with two lanes and digital screens with the menu on it. Experience: I went through the drive-thru on a Saturday afternoon and there was no one in line in front of me. The service was super fast and the food was hot! Fresh off the grill type of hot! The fries here also tasted MUCH better than the fries at the other McDonald's I have been to in San Marcos. The Vanilla coffee here was also very good and cheap! Use their phone app to get lots of discounts.

    Restaurant main entrance

    I just walked after waiting at the register for a long time to place an order. There were workers walking around, but I wasn't even acknowledged. Eventually an older lady walked up and asked me if I needed help (like I would just come by to stand there for fun!). When I told her I'd been waiting for a long time for someone to take my order she pointed me to the machine/kiosk instead of taking my order. I told her to just forget about it and I walked out. Pretty disappointing service, or lack of. Especially when I usually come by the drive-thru at this location in the mornings, with no problem at all. ‍

    I have been coming to Money Pit for over 12 years now and I have nothing but great things to say…read moreabout the food. The bacon avocado cheese burger is amazing and it's been my go to for years with the zucchini fries. I've had many zucchini fries from many other restaurants and they by far have the best. The ranch from here is top tier as well, so it makes it all the better. This is where the 3 star review comes in. My family loves to come here after the beach on our way home, as it has become a tradition at this point. Part of this tradition is eating inside because the decor and vibes are awesome. I love movies and so this place has always been a favorite as it comes to the theme. They close at 9:00pm and they won't let you sit inside if it's closed to 8:30pm and sometimes, like tonight we got here before 8:30pm. The young kids they have working here want to get out of work as soon as possible so they start cleaning early and turn away people early so they don't have to stay longer to clean. This is ridiculous, as the closing time is clearly 9. They always seem so annoyed that you even walk inside in the first place, which with a family being told we can't eat here even though it's open is just insulting. Management needs to talk with their employees about this because I'm sure they aren't aware of this and they turn away business. Why wouldn't you want to eat inside at a place like this? Food is amazing, but if you want to eat inside be sure you get there an hour or even more before close!

    How have I not known about the Money Pit until now!!! The place used to be a bank and the…read morerestaurant owners kept the original vault from the bank in the restaurant which you can see when you walk in. One of my new favorite casual breakfast and burger joints. What makes it 5 stars? - awesome food and generous portions. The food was fresh and tasty. I loved my burger and chili cheese fries. Unlimited drinks. The perfect meal. - very reasonable prices for the quality and food portions (better than any fast food including In N Out especially since they keep raising their prices) - they serve breakfast, burgers, other sandwiches, salads, and several sides. Something for everyone to enjoy. - plenty of parking in the lot and lots of seating inside. The vibe is casual diner food. - service was friendly and professional. They were busy but we got our food within 10 mins. I will definitely be stopping by for more!

    What a nice surprise this place turned out to be. We came hungry and walked away fully satisfied…read more Our kiddos have food allergies and they were able to accommodate. Service was super friendly and helpful. Food was fantastic, especially the chili. Wow, the chili. Burgers were legit. Double burger was way huge. Chili fries were amazing.

    This is a long overdue review for Water Shack. I stumbled upon this place a few years ago when I…read morewas craving a no frills mom & pop style burger. To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!

Everyone was friendly, and the customer service experience makes everything better I ordered the traditional cheesesteak with seasoned fries and ranch,m.

    The cheesesteak sandwich was very good, but not great. Given how drenched in cheese the small beef…read morecubes were, I couldn't really taste the beef flavor. I prefer the more common layered Philly style of thinly sliced then lightly chopped beef with slices of cheese melted on top, then onions/peppers folded in the roll. The beef is more the star in the style. As for the famously imported roll, they can save the cross-country expense as it's tasteless and wrinkly. There are many better rolls available from local commercial bakeries. A few more minor annoyances. Ketchup is only available in those messy little packets, and there are no salt and pepper shakers, just those tiny packets. And finally, what's with the 3% "Operations Fee"? A business's finances are run through a P&L, which always contains operating expenses. Given their prices and I'm sure good profit margin, any operations expenses should be built into the P&L model, not hoisted on the customer beyond the item prices. Overall, a decent sandwich and fries from a frozen bag, but for $20+ not a good value.

    Pretty upsetting experience just now. I haven't had Canes in literally forever. And was craving it…read more Came here and the drive through was hard to hear, the lady on the overcome told me to pull through to the second window to pay. Ended up paying for my $20 Caniac Combo at the first window which was odd, but I was hoping efficient! The workers seemed a bit flustered. At the second window -- the lady asked if I were "Shane" I said no, and correct her I was "Caitlin" I was handed my large Arnold Palmer & bag of food. Once I drove home, opened my box to see it's a 4 box combo... immediately called to tell the the store, and was transferred to their manager, Justin, to explain my entire experience. He so graciously offered a free Caniac for another time, but I declined because the whole box seemed like it's been sitting out for a while and wasn't fresh at all. Justin said I'll see a refund in my account within 2-3 days, so we'll see if that can improve my review. Other than that, the ambience is fine.

    Very disappointed. This is the second visit in a row where my order wasn't correct…read more The last time, my order was missing the Cane's sauce entirely. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, thinking it was just an honest mistake. Today, I ordered a combo box with four chicken fingers and only received one Cane's sauce, even though this order normally comes with two. I didn't want to drive back just for one sauce, but it was still frustrating. The sauce is a big part of the Cane's experience, and customers should receive what they're paying for. Mistakes happen, but when the same issue occurs twice in a row, it starts to feel like there isn't enough attention to detail. Two consecutive visits with missing sauce. The first time, there was no sauce at all. Today, I reminded the cashier twice, but my order still came with only one Cane's Sauce. This shouldn't keep happening. I hope the staff takes a few extra seconds to double-check orders before handing them out. It would make a big difference in the overall customer experience.
